Community IRL (Valente)
Do you feel overcommitted but under connected? Over the course of this workshop we'll come together to learn, discuss, brainstorm, and provide blueprints for building deeper purpose and fostering belonging in our community. Whether you’re a student, organizer, young professional, or just someone who feels powerless, this is the place for you. We believe community is resistance. Come for conversation, snacks, and a sense of shared purpose irl.
Registration helpful.
